There will only be two English Tests that will be acceptable:
- Trinity College London
- International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
This comes into place from 6th April 2015
English Language tests taken before 6th April 2015, will only be valid until 5th November 2015 - but only if the test is listed on the Transitional Approved list.
CLICK HERE to view the Transitional Approved List of English tests.
You are required to check and make sure your English Language test is on the approved Transitional list.
Be advised that many Highly Trusted, Tier 4 registered colleges from now, will be requiring you to show the approved test from Trinity College London or IELTS and will not be accepting any other test.
This is their right as individual colleges determine their own admissions policies in addition to the UKVI guidelines and regulations.
It will be in your best interest to update your English Language test.
